How to Search for Available Domain Names

Your domain name search is performed instantly as you type. There is no need to enter ".com" as it is added automatically. Select the ".com" extension to change it to another extension of your choice. Press enter or the "Generate Domain Names" button to generate a list of domain names using your entered search. A valid domain name has between 1 and 63 characters. Characters can be letters, numbers, or the dash "-" character. A domain name cannot start or finish with a dash. A red border will appear around the search box if you have performed an invalid search.

Using Word Lists

A word list is used to generate domain names using words that share a common theme. A word list can be selected in the "Lists & Tools" menu and can also be typed in. A list can be identified by the "[" and "]" characters in the search box. When selecting a word list it will appear at the last cursor position. The placement of the list in the search box will determine where the generated words will appear. A maximum of 2 lists can be used at once.
